HB 3107
Explains requirements for written guidance provided by an agency in response to an inquiry by a financial institution and sets forth the civil actions that can be brought for a fraudulent act or intentional misconduct of the financial institution
The bill provides that a financial institution is not subject to civil liability under Missouri law for any act or omission made in compliance with, or in good faith reliance on, written guidance issued by a regulatory agency, even if the guidance is later modified, rescinded, or held invalid by a court. This bill does not bar actions or proceedings when the act or omission involved fraudulent activity, intentional misconduct, wanton or willful conduct, or gross negligence. The bill applies only to the extent not preempted by Federal law and specifies that nothing in the Section limits the authority of federal or state governments or regulatory agencies to bring civil, criminal, or administrative enforcement actions.
